Wordless Wednesday: Watering

in , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, July 01, 2015
The dog days of summer aren't upon us yet, but things are heating up in the south come July.  Watering is a daily chore that I really don't mind- most days. Happy July, happy gardening readers!


My WAHM Plan: front porch watering #gardening
The watering can peaking out of our front porch railing is a call to action for me.

I'll be swapping out Petunia's for Begonia's soon enough.


My WAHM Plan: watering Rosemary
Rosemary likes a a nice cool drink of water.


My WAHM Plan: watering and gardening in the south
Sometimes a light misting on plants and people is in order.

Wordless Wednesday: Blooms abound

in , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, April 29, 2015
The weather calls me outside and into my flower beds who need my attention desperately! Still, I have blooms aplenty in my front flower bed that make me smile and simply ignore the weeding I must do this weekend.

While I put away my Christmas decorations and tell myself I simply MUST organize my closets, I’m dreaming of warmer days, flowers in bloom and veggies on the vine. That can only mean one thing: it’s time to order my seed catalogs! I limited myself to just 4 per year and I change them up each year by adding a couple of new ones. 

This year’s choices are:

Summer is here without a doubt. It is hot and humid, so flowers have to work extra hard. 
Thank you Shade Coleus and Dianthus for hanging in there are bringing your A game.

Springtime Countdown!

in , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, January 20, 2012
Lilacs ( My favorite) source

With only 59 days left of winter, I will concede that we here in middle Tennessee have enjoyed a nice, mild winter. I sincerely hope it’s steady as she goes until we all welcome spring once again. 
My girls on the other hand feel short changed by the lack of snow days, having only gotten 1 so far this year. We never get lots of snow anyway; it’s the ice that shuts us down in hilly middle Tennessee. So as much as I try to make my kids happy, there’s no way I’m wishing for any type of white stuff! I just nod my head sympathetically and keep my mouth shut and daydream of spring…
 I have so much planned for my gardens and porches and yard this year. This will be the year I re-do the front flower beds, re-paint the front porch, plant wildflowers at our pond and Honeysuckle along the back fence.  
This is the year that I will divide my Irises and make an “official herb garden” so I don’t keep bringing in my pots, vowing to keep them alive all winter, only to be disappointed when I have to dry and save instead.
 This is the year I make peace with the willful rose bush I inherited when we bought this place. Hey, if it can live throw all the cutting and digging up I’ve done to it, it has earned my respect and a pretty trellis too.
This is the year I will help Ms. T and Ms. M have flower beds all to themselves. They’ve wanted one, but can’t seem to agree on the spot; or worse, they want the same spot but can’t agree on the type of garden it should be. We’ve got 5 acres here, I just bet with some patience and ingenuity we can all figure this out.
Yep, those are my big plans for spring. How about you? Do you love digging in the dirt?
What are your favorite things to grow? Flowers, herbs, veggies, fruit?
